About Devara
Devara marks the Telugu debut of Saif Ali Khan. Fans reacted enthusiastically to the first look of the actor and added to the comments. “Wow, looks fire!” said a fan. “Its Devara vs Bhaira!” exclaimed another. Many also reacted with fire emoticons.
Devara marks the second collaboration between star Jr NTR and Koratala Siva after the 2016 film Janatha Garage. The film also marks the Telugu debut of actor Janhvi Kapoor. According to rumours, the film features NTR in dual roles of father and son. Earlier, the first look of Jr. NTR was also revealed, which saw him holding a blood-soaked spear and standing with a fierce look.
Jr NTR request to fans
Recently, Jr NTR had requested fans not to keep constantly keep asking for updates about his next projects as it puts a lot of pressure on a lot of people. “Sometimes, when we’re working on a film, there isn’t much information to share. We can’t keep sharing updates on a daily or hourly basis. As much as I understand your excitement and the urge, sometimes all of this leads to a lot of pressure on the producer as well as the filmmaker. Due to the pressure, sometimes we end up sharing an update which doesn’t have much value which upsets the fans even more,” he said.
Meanwhile, Saif was last seen in Om Raut’s Adipurush, which released this year in June. The film, which is based on the Ramayana, starred Prabhas and Kriti Sanon in the lead. The film met with controversies over his dialogues and poor VFX. Devara releases next year, on April 5.
